There's a limit to how hard you can beat on the ST without some 68000 program-
ming documentation. My favorites are:
68000 Assembly Language Programming by L.A. Levinthal, D. Hawkins, G. Kane
and W.D. Cramer pub Osborne-McGraw-Hill
and, mostly for addressing and timing information, the Motorola MC68000
16/32-bit microprocessor manual dated October, 1985.

Could you please post info on where one might order these books,
approximate price, etc? I've been looking for the Motorola book for
some time now in computer stores and book stores with no success.
Thanks,

bookstores, but the standard way to get them is to start calling Motorola
offices, describing what you need a manual for, until someone decides to send
you one. It tends to be fairly pleasant, because this is pretty routine to
them and they regard it as part of maintaining good customer relations.
Uh, right, but where do I find one of these Motorola offices?

Please pardon me for giving the snotty answer first, because it can be incred- ibly useful: You find ANY major company's phone number in the Thompson Register (It's a set of about 15 big green books in the reference section of a lot of libraries, and in many purchasing offices). Now for the nice answer: Motorola has a headquarters number of (708)397-5000. One number for the tech people is (708)576-7000. Those are Illinois numbers. The home of the 68000 is in Texas somewhere. Again, good general advice is that any BIG company will have a number in any big city phone book. If I didn't want to walk through from the main corporate number, and the 576 number wasn't local (it IS local for me. I'm sure it isn't the final number in a game of 'phone tag, but it's a good start for me), I'd check the Dallas and Houston phone books. Steve J.

The number you could call to get info would be: (512) 891-2000. Don't know which office that is. You could try the general number (512) 928-6000 The address is: Motorola 1 Texas Center Barton Springs Rd. Austin, Texas 78704 I guess you can put what department it should go to, that's a big office building. The suite for the staff services is #400, but call the 2000 number and they will tell you whatever you need to know or who to get in touch with.
